It's Me And Not You

Rachel's POV

It is Friday afternoon, I left work early today. I am at the apartment making dinner and my friend Jess is helping me. I am setting up the table for the romantic dinner that I planned for Shawn and I. 

Jess is assisting me to ensure that I don't burn my apartment to the ground as I am hopeless at cooking. To my defense , I never took an interest in cooking and I was a book worm but that did not include recipe books.

" I don't really understand why you are doing this Rach, if your relationship is doomed to fail let it be. Some things are just not meant to be. I mean it has been 3 years Rach and he has not even pop the question."

" Jess you never really  liked Shawn anyway, I am not surprise that  you are against him. Besides, I am to blame for the failure of this relationship, I have prioritised my work more than the other parts of life."

" No Rach, you are not. I know you have been trying really hard to make this relationship work.  From my perspective, it looks like you are the only one putting effort into this relationship. Shawn even forgot your birthday last year."

" I was out of town Jess, you can't blame him for that and guys usually forget these things anyway."

"Rach, I am your friend and I love you. I can't make this decision for you. But you are constantly fighting with him about your job. Do you really want to spend the rest of your life with someone who does not support your career?"

"When was the last time he even did something nice for you?"

 " All relationships, have ups and downs Jess. I know you are happily married now. I have just neglected that area of my life for a while. I am making it a priority now. "

"Oh, would you look at the time I need to get Shawn from his apartment now."

"Everything is ready now Rach, you can just warm the food up if you guys end up eating later. You know how use to the microwave right?" She laughs. I just roll my eyes at her.

" Thanks my friend"  We both make our way to exit my apartment.

" Honestly, my friend I think you are going to the wrong destination now. Your GPS location should be The Carter Palace " She winks at me.

"Oh my God, I should not have told you anything about Daniel." I laugh.

We hug each and we go our separate ways.
